1 Potential Grade Separations Identified for Study at the Next Level of 

2 Environmental Documentation 

3 Grade separations would ultimately be required for some of the existing and proposed

4 crossings along the length of the Chicago to St. Louis Build Alternatives.  This section

5 describes how the crossings most likely to require grade separations were identified and

6 reports which crossings are recommended to be included for more detail study at the

7 next level of environmental documentation.  The purpose for this analysis at the Tier 1

8 level is to identify the potential costs and impacts that would be associated with these

9 grade separations.

10 Methodology

11 The first stage of this process was to determine exposure factors for three different area

12 types; rural, urban populations between 5,000 and 200,000, and urban populations over

13 200,000.  The exposure factors were calculated as the product of roadway average daily

14 traffic (ADT) and train volumes for existing railroad to roadway grade separated

15 crossings in the State of Illinois.  Since interstate highways and other freeways are fully

16 grade separated regardless of exposure factor, these crossings were left out of the data

17 set.  Once the relevant crossing data was obtained from IDOT, it was sorted to look at

18 only the crossings for which both train traffic and vehicular traffic from the Illinois

19 Commerce Commission (ICC) and the FRA databases were available.  This process

20 resulted in approximately 30 percent of the original data set to utilize as a basis for

21 comparison.  The results provided an average exposure factor for each of the three area

22 types described previously.  Doing so makes the data more comparable; for example, it

23 would not be pertinent to compare a crossing located in a rural area to one in a densely

24 populated urban area.  

25 The desired results were to calculate an existing exposure factor by multiplying the

26 given ADT by the train traffic at the individual crossing.  The average exposure factors

27 of the three area types were:

28 Urban – over 200,000 = 1,445,011;

29 Urban ‐ 5,000 to 200,000 = 150,379; and

30 Rural – less than 5,000 = 53,267.

31 Results

32 In order to identify existing at grade crossings to be studied at the next level of

33 environmental documentation for potential grade separation, only the non‐interstate

34 collectors and higher were analyzed.  The numbers of railroad to roadway crossings that

35 meet these criteria are 71 collectors and 67 arterials.  In order to get an exposure factor

36 for these crossings, the 2010 ADT was projected out to 2030 ADT using a 2 percent

37 growth per year.  The projected train traffic used was:  

38 Section 1 – Chicago ‐ 26 trains/day;

39 Section 2 ‐ Chicago ‐ 104 trains/day;
Chicago-St. Louis High-Speed Rail   E-39 Tier 1 DEIS

1 Section 3 ‐ Joliet to Springfield – 45 trains/day;

2 Section 4 – Springfield ‐ 45 trains/day;

3 Section 5 – Springfield ‐ 72 trains/day;

4 Section 6 – Springfield to Alton – 45 trains/day; and

5 Section 7 ‐ Alton to St. Louis ‐ 45 trains/day.  

6 Using these criteria, exposure factors were created for the 138 crossings.  The results

7 were then compared to the average existing exposure factors for the appropriate

8 population group to determine grade crossings to be considered in at the next level of

9 environmental documentation for grade separation.  Appendix D shows the crossings

10 that, based on this procedure, should be considered for further analysis of a potential

11 grade separation.   

12 Conclusion

13 Although there are 101 crossings for a potential grade separation, it would not be

14 reasonable to assume that all of these crossings would be studied at the next level of

15 environmental documentation for a grade separation for several reasons.  Local

16 jurisdictions may be opposed to the impacts of a grade separation and others may not be

17 justified when a life cycle cost analysis is completed.  Therefore, for the purposes of the

18 cost estimate, it was assumed that approximately 1/4 of the crossings would be built.  

19 The cost estimate includes 25 new grade separations from Chicago to St. Louis.

20 Though it is not anticipated that all of the potential grade separations listed would be

21 constructed in the future, the locations of the potential grade separations are listed

22 below to provide the best available information at this time.  This information provides a

23 better overall understanding of the types of crossings that would likely warrant grade

24 separations, and therefore what the long‐term components of the project might include.  

25 In addition, presenting the potential locations of the grade separations early in the

26 planning process gives local planners and officials, as well as members of the public, an

27 opportunity to review the information and provide input on the locations listed, and/or

28 not listed.  This input can then be considered in subsequent phases of the planning

29 process as the project progresses and more specific design plans are developed should

30 one of the Build Alternatives be selected for further study based on the results of the Tier

31 1 level analyses presented in this Tier 1 DEIS.
